english coursing lines

[tinytiger 822]

Hi all ,hows it going.I was just wondering if the waterloo cup strains of greyhound have become extinct.Im on about lines going back to the likes of evening mail,timworth edward,hardly ever,rodney magnet,linden eland etc.I recall a dog called musket bearer a few years back(pre coursing ban) that had a dash of this blood in his damline(i think).Does anybody on here know if he s still alive or of anything bred similarly.Im sure thousands of lurchers could trace back to these lines but im looking for greyhounds.I think it would be/is a shame if they have died out ,maybe the conservatives will have the waterloo cup back next year(wishful thinking)

anyways thanks

Hi Musket Bearer was owned and bred by Mary Birkbeck(hence the MB) she was true to the English lines and would nt use any Irish blood inher lines,saying that she held her own against the Irish bred/blood dogs on the field and no doubt shes still holding out with these lines
